The
bill authorises the Secretary of tlie
Treasury "to coin the silver bullion in
the Treasury.... into such denomination
of subsidiary silver coin as he may deem
necessary to meet public revinireiuents,
and thereafter, as pub'ic necessities nisy
demaud, to recoin silver dollars into I
subsidiary coin." It also repeals all ex
itttinjt provisions for the coinage of silver
dollars, and directs the exchange of gold
for legal tender silver dollars when pre
sented to the Treasury jn sums of five
dollars, or multiples thereof. The stock
of silver bullion in the Treasury laid
January was 44.520,910 fine ounces. It
represented a cost of (40,283,0811 in out
standing Treasury notes, and its coinage
value in subsidiary silver would be (til,-
54(5,100. At the same time, there were
in the United States (.0,732,617 of
standard silver dollars. The Director of
the Mint, in his report last year, said:
"No good reas n appears why the coin
age of dollar pieces should not altogether
cease, and the entire stock of bullion on
band b need for subsidiary coinage."

PIONEERS.
Pioneer Day. In
gathered from all
men and women,
whof-e ranks are fast thinning, but in
those left to us remains the spirit that
transformed Oregon from a wilderness
into a paradise. Oregon City is dear to
pioneers. Remembered as the site of
early territorial government, its histori
cal features will be pointed out to tour
ist for hundreds of years to' come. The
lust resting place and the home of Dr.
Jo in McLougblin, whose name is al
ways associated with the name of Ore
gon City, and who is immortalized in
Eva Emery Dye's "McLoaghlin and
0l Oregon," the first Methodist Church
built west of tbe Rocky mountains, and
many other scenes of historic interest
are all here. As the years fade, some of
them will disappear and be forgotten.
Tbe memories of the noble pioneers will
be preserved in books, which will be
read by their descendants hundreds of
yars Irora today, hat ttiey nave
given chd never be repaid; what they
have done w;U live until the end of
time.
In a lot adjoining the Methodist
cbarch in Oregon City there stood until
s few years ago, when it was cut down
and sold for souvenirs an old apple tree,
the first tree of its kind in Oregon, now
so famous for its apples. In the early
forties one season's crop of apples was
purchased from the owner by W. P.
Barns, formerly of this city, but now of
Portland. He shipped tbe crop to Cali
fornia and sold it for several hundred
dollars. Tbe purchaser toroed about
and sold the apples to the miners of the
days of gold for one dollar apiece. This
incident is only one of the many which
are told and retold by the pioneers and
peculiarly illustrates the life in Oregon
over fifty years ago.
Oregon City is particularly honored at
this year's pioneer reunion by the selec
tion of Hon. Thomas A. McBride, him
self a jioneer of 1846, to deliver the
annual address. His speech was
masterpiece and full of reminescences of
the half-forgotten past.
Id a very few years more Oregon will
have seen the last of pioneer reunions.
The Sons and Daughters of Oregon
Pioneers has been organized to perpet
uate and keep evergreen tbe memories
of the pioneers. Mrs. M. L. Myrick, a
grand-daughter of Dr. McLoughlin, is
i's vice president. Once a year the sons
daughters will meet to talk over the
times gone by, and of the work and suf
ferings endured by men and women, in
order that Oregon might reach the high
stage of development, prosperity and
happiness now enjoyed by ber inhabi
tants if the present day.
piRsriT or convicts.
It is safe to say that never agHin will
the state militia be called out to catch
escaped convicU when thecircumntauces
are similar to those which occurred last
week. It may not take a thief to catch a
thief, but it is the helghlli of folly to
send uniformed men In a body after des
perate fugitives who take to the woods.
The only reasonable method to pursue is
to take the pattern of the hunted men.
Sheriff. Cooke said last Sunday that he
would rather hare ten (earlexs and cau
tious men, weli armed and prepared for
anything that came their way, than all
of the militia in Oregon. This is not dis
paraging the national guard. The or
ganization is unexcelled for its purpose.
open warfare. But they are not taught
to skulk in brush aud lie in wnit for a
treacherous and hidden enemy.
It does seem strange, upon reflection,
that two men avoided two hundred, as
Tracey and Merrill avoided the poose in
search of them. Several times sur
rounded, they made their escape with
comparative ease, eluding and battling
tbe officers who were using every means
to catch them or, failing in that, to shoot
them down like dogs, as they deserved.
They were open In their escape and
laughed at pursuit. From pillar to poet,
from town to country and from country
to town, from wheat fields to under
brush, tbey went boldly and openly, or
secretly as beet served their purpose,
not hesitating to demand food and cloth
ing when it was necessary to them, at
the point of their rifles.
Tracey and Merrill will not soon be
forgotten . Their escape will be a lesson
to some. It will probably make the
guard at the state penitentiary more
rigid. If Winchesters can be smuggled
over the walls without detection under!
the very eyes of tbe authorities to two
men, why not to fifty? Has discipline
been lax? Have the lives of three good
men been lost through fault?

REBECCA TUICNEY WINS SUIT.
COINAGE OF SILVER DOLLARS.
The currency act of March 14, 1900,
war intended to establish the gold stand
ard in the United States, and declared it
to be the duty of the Secretary of the
Treasury to maintain the parity. It
provided for the redemption of United
States notes in gold, but it did not pre
scribe a definite method for maintaining
tbe parity of the silver dollar. That de
fect, and the recognized necessity for an
increase in the volume of subsidiary
coinage, is now believed to have been
remedied by tbe Hill currency bill,
which lately passed the House. Its
purpose is to stop tbe further coinage of
legal-tender silver dollars, and to use the
silver bullion now in the Treasury to
supply subsidiary coin. Hitherto, the
subsidiary coinage has been limited to
(100,000,000. The new measure removes
the limit,' and tbe volume hereafter is
discretionary with tbe Secretary of the
Treasury. The pressure for the bill has
been caused by the demands of trade for
fa.lv er change, exhausting the stock on
Recovers ?432u Dumugeg Against
Southern Pacific Company.
Rebecca Turney was Monday awarded
(4325 damages against the Southern Pa
cific Company by a jury in the Circuit
Court. This is the result of a suit for
(15,000 filed by Mrs. Turney against tbe
railroad company some months ago.
The plaintiff in the suit is an old lady
residing just above Canemah who was
injured September 14, 1900, by being
struck with a stick ol wood which was
thrown from a moving train. The tim
ber struck on the left side of the back,
breaking four ribs, her collar bone and
injuring her lung. Her left arm was
also permaneutly injured and rendered
useless. The case excited much interest
and was vigorously prosecuted by Gilbert
Hedges, of Oregon City, and Alfred S.
Bennett, of The Dalles. The Southern
Pacific Company was represented by W.
D. Fenton and J. C. Moreland, of Port
land. 1 lie case involved the construe
tion of court instruments regarding
county roads, the railroad company
claiming that they were the absolute
owners of that portion of the county road
lying between the fence and the' river
and between the old F. X. Paquet place
and a point 5100 feet south. The court
orders showed clearly that a mere pre
misive use or easement was given to the
company with no words whatever to in
dicate that they were to have exclusive
use of the particular strip in Question.
The plaintiff's attorneys contended that
this strip had always been a part of the
county road and was at the present time.
This contention was upheld and verdict
shows that tbe company, which simply
had an easement on the road came in 25
years later and claimed the land.
After the rendering of the verdict
Judge McBride adjourned court until
JulyS.

George Schaub. a well known German
citizen of New Lebanon, Ohio, is a con
stant reader of tbe Dayton Volkzeitung.
lie knows that this paper aims to adver
tise only the lest in its columns, and
when he saw Chamberlain's Pain Balm
advertised therein for lame back, be did
not hesitate in buying a bottle of it for
his wife, who for eight weeks had suffered
with tbe most terrible pains in her back
and could get no relief. He says: "After
using tbe Pain Balm for a few days my
wife said to me, 'I feel as though born
anew,' and before usiDg the entire con
tents of tbe bottle the unbearable pains
had entirely vanished and she could
again take np her household duties."
He is very thankful and hopes that all
suffering likewise will bear of her won
derful recovery. This valuable liniment !
